"There are no AI devices inside the cave and it can block the signal to a certain extent, so it's perfect for hiding. There are pictures and incense burners used to commemorate Meng Shi inside the freezer. This proves that the owner of the cave has a close relationship with the deceased. In conclusion, there's a high chance that the person hiding inside the underground drainage system is Meng Changxi. "
Li Xue's analysis excited all the officers. Currently, the entire police force was searching for Meng Changxi but to no avail. If they could find Meng Changxi before he disappeared, it would be a great achievement.
After putting on the gloves, Li Xue removed Han Fei's picture. "This picture was taken a few days ago, the fingerprints should be clearer. Other than that, go and compare the buildings in the picture with the angle it was taken from. Go and get the relevant surveillance footage."
"Wait a minute." After he removed the picture, Han Fei noticed there was a sentence written behind the picture — The Last Way.
'I'm Meng Changxi's last route? What does he mean by that? '
Noticing the sentence, Li Xue removed the pictures of He Shouye and Meng Changan.
He Shouye's picture was covered in blood stains while Meng Changan's picture had a date written behind it.
'Isn't this today?'
Li Xue was the first to notice something was wrong when she saw the time behind Meng Changan's picture. She flipped through the pile of documents and soon found something special.
'An ID card? Immortal Pharma's building blueprint? Xin Lu International Plaza's main venue map? ' Li Xue pulled out her phone to search. "At 1: 30 pm this afternoon, there will be a promotional event for a large scale game at Xin Lu International Plaza. Immortal Pharma and Deep Space Tech have started their advertising 3 weeks in advance. They will be releasing their latest space sleeping gaming hub."
"Assuming the owner of this cave is Meng Changxi, is he familiar with the layout of the venue just so he can attend the event? Xin Lu's smart city is different from the old city, there's a surveillance camera every 10 steps. The city's central computer will be monitoring all anomalies, the chance of him being discovered is very high! "
"Meng Changxi would not take such a big risk for the sake of a game, he must have a reason to attend." Han Fei took out his phone to search and soon found the reason. "This afternoon, the gaming hub is a collaboration between Deep Space Tech and Immortal Pharma. One of Immortal Pharma's top executives will be there."
He showed the information on his phone to the surrounding police officers. "Meng Changan is one of the representatives of Immortal Pharma!"
"Meng Changxi wants to kill Meng Changan?" The two new policemen felt that this was not a small matter. They were ready to report it to their superiors immediately. If the executives of Immortal Pharma were killed at the venue, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Calm down!" Li Xue scanned the information inside the cave. "Initially, I didn't believe everything that Han Fei said. All the evidence pointed to Meng Changxi as the killer. However, after seeing this cave, I felt that things weren't that simple. Would a murderer spend ten years to collect clues? Only people who want to find the truth would do that. "
"Meng Changxi is a very smart person. He is extremely patient and tenacious. A person like that would not make such a rash decision unless something has triggered him." Han Fei looked at the surrounding officers.
"Last night, the station received an anonymous tip. The person provided us with solid evidence that Meng Changxi is the murderer of the frozen body case." One of the officers looked at Li Xue and Han Fei and hesitated for a while before he spoke.
"Solid evidence?" Li Xue was shocked. "How come I'm not aware of this?"
"You've been suggesting to your teacher to control Meng Changan and treat Meng Changxi with caution. That is contrary to the direction of our investigation." The officer shook his head. "Last night, we received some video recordings of Meng Changxi burying various animal carcasses. There were dismembered birds, stray cats, and stray dogs. Just by looking at the dismembered carcasses, you can tell that this man is a psychopath. Of course, if it was just animal carcasses, we wouldn't have searched the entire city for him. But the most important thing was the last part of the recording. In it, Meng Changxi was about to bury a human carcass. "
Li Xue's other former colleague chimed in, "Evidence is more important than subjective assumptions. After the station received the evidence, they immediately increased the search for Meng Changxi. They even used the latest technology to investigate him. He probably sensed danger and knew he couldn't hide from it. That's why he decided to take the risk."
"Is the video authentic?"
"After technical analysis, the video is authentic."
After getting the confirmation, Li Xue turned to Han Fei. She believed Han Fei's words from the beginning and that was why she suggested this to her teacher. But before the solid evidence, even she started to waver.
"Something's wrong!" Han Fei said firmly, "Didn't you only see the footage of him burying the animal carcasses? There's no record of animal cruelty? "
"Even if he didn't commit animal cruelty, the fact that he wanted to bury the carcass is more than enough for us to arrest him." The officer was right, Han Fei could not argue with that.
But just as everyone was convinced that Meng Changxi was the killer, Han Fei gritted his teeth. He had heard from Meng Si that as Meng Changan's behavior became more and more deranged, his older brothers started to intervene.
Han Fei remembered the old man's words clearly. At the time, Meng Changshou, who was already at work, helped Meng Changan find a psychiatrist and the second brother, Meng Changxi, helped his younger brother deal with the aftermath.
In other words, the animal carcasses that Meng Changxi buried were all killed by Meng Changan. The most disgusting thing was, after Meng Changan found out about this, not only did he not repent, he secretly recorded the footage of Meng Changxi burying the carcasses.
When he was so young, he knew how to make use of his older brother's love to push the blame onto his older brother.
Compared to the handsome Meng Changan, Meng Changxi with the birthmark on his face gave a very bad first impression.
From the moment Meng Changan started to pursue the Butterfly, he had probably treated Meng Changxi as his scapegoat.
With that in mind, Han Fei understood something else.
Meng Si was the one who knew the 3 brothers the best, so she had to die.
'The evidence that the police found at Meng Changxi's house was probably left behind by Meng Changan. This demon has planned everything. He has been holding onto Meng Changxi's weakness. Once the truth is exposed, he will hand over the evidence.'
The most irrefutable thing was, the evidence was real.
Meng Changxi was guilty but the real culprit was Meng Changan.
"Look at this!" One of the officers found a hand-drawn map at the corner of the file. It marked out the location of most of the surveillance cameras at the International Plaza and even mapped out a relatively safe route.
"The ID card is specially prepared for the handicapped. For example, some citizens with facial disfigurement can't recognize their faces or those who are blind can't recognize their pupils. I wonder where Meng Changxi got his ID card from. If there's something wrong with the card, the system will issue a warning in 5 minutes!"
"In other words, after he entered the venue, he only had 5 minutes to complete the murder."
"In terms of time, the route he planned can be described as perfect."
After learning the man's plan, the two officers moved into action.
Han Fei did not leave. He put himself in Meng Changxi's shoes. If he was the one doing something like this, he would have destroyed it after memorizing the route.
'It feels like Meng Changxi purposely left these things behind. He's probably prepared to be discovered here. If that's the case, then the place that he's heading to is definitely not the address that was listed in the file.
Other than that, Meng Changan released the information beforehand to attend the product launch event. He knew that the police would put a lot of pressure on Meng Changxi. It's as if he's trying to lure Meng Changxi to kill him. '
'These two brothers are not idiots, they should be able to guess the other's intention. However, Meng Changan's plan is an open one. If Meng Changxi doesn't kill him, he might lose his last chance. Under such circumstances, how is Meng Changxi going to solve this? '
With this in mind, Han Fei turned to look at his own picture.
'Why would Meng Changxi write the last route behind my picture?'
